Landscapes And Lives: The Scottish Forest Through The Ages by John Fowler
Trees are an essential part not just of Scotland's landscape, but its identity too. Ancient oakwoods, thickets of shimmering birches or lonely clumps of gnarled Caledonian pine all count among the most atmospheric places in Scotland. This volume is a portrait not just of the forests as we encounter them today, but their part in Scotland's story, from the Ice Age to the great woodlands planted by the Dukes of Atholl and the blanket spruce plantations of the post-war years. Written with a blend of myth and archeological evidence, this text provides glimpses of the great personalities and a taste of environmental and economic controversies.
A former arts editor of The Herald, John Fowler's travel/hillwalking book Have You Seen the Glories? appeared in 2000, and before that his play Whaur's Yer Willie Wallace Noo? created a small stir on the Edinburgh Fringe. He lives in Linlithgow.
